This beheld or dreamed it in dream:
There spread cloud of dust along plain;
And underneath the cloud, or in it, ragged
A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords
Shocked upon swords and shields A princes

A craven hung along the battles edge,
And thought Had l q sword of keener

That blue blade that the Kings son bears
but this,
Blunt thingl-n he snapt and flung it from

And lowering crept away and left the field.
Then came the Kings son, wounded, sore

And weaponless, and saw the broken sword
Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand,
And ran and snatched it, and with battle

Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down.
And saved great cause that heroic day.

SEA AND SKY.

Long ago, when the world was new,
The sapphire sky and the ocean blue
Welded one summer day;
And the sky still bends as the years go by,
And the ocean leaps to the bending sky,
For constant lovers are they.
But when a mist arises between,
The ocean, grown with Jealousy green
His doubts to the listener tells,
He storms and frets, he RACES and roars:
In furious wrath he beats his shores,
While his turbulent bosom swels.
The sky, though dark with a momentt
frown,
VIII tenderly from its height look down
With a radiant smile divine
The green TO blue with its magic skill
Twill change, and the stormy ocean still,
And the son Of love will smile.
Pause, thou, my heart, and the lessor
read
When the darkness falls and with Jealous
speed.
The mists of doubt arise
Fret notl twill pass, and thou wilt know
That the sun shines with fervent glow,
In loves unchanging skies.

Useful Hints.

Never use for cake milk that has been
boiled.
Matches should always be kept in a
stone or earthen jar, or in tin.
Ash or light wood floors are frightened
by wiping over with skinned milk in.
stead of water.
Egg shells will clean vinegar bottles OF
cruets as well as shot, and possess the
merit of always being on hand in every
kitchen.
Do not allow the spice box to become
disorderly. Have each division carefully
labelled and permit no mixing of the
contents.
The kitchen window is the best of all
windows for plants. They receive the
eded moisture from the steam of ket
n nd boilers.
h lcate crackers take two pints of
tloui tint of sweet cream, and the
yolksN 'ggs. Roll out thin, and
bake like, other biscuit.
\ good way to distinguish mushrooms
is to sprinkle salt on the spongy or under
side. If it turns yellow the specimen is
poisonous; If black; it is wholesome.
TO keep plants in the cellar take them
up and spread loosely on shelves or hang
to the joists overhead The temperature
of the cellar should not be over forty or
fifty degrees.
Choose a time when the ground is dry
for taking up plants. The plant is more
dormant in dry than wet weather. and
less likely to be injured by removal from
its native soil.
Honey sometimes has an onion flavor,
from the bees gathering from fields OF
onion seeds. If allowed 10 set few
weeks the unpleasant flavor will pass
of.
A good liquid glue may be made in
this way: Put one ounce of boraX into
a pint of boiling water, add two ounces
of shela' and boil until the shellac is
dissolved, then bottle for use.
All tins should be washed quickly
after using in clean soap suds, scalded
and wiped Immediately, and they will
not need securing Frequent securing,
even with whiting, wears them out.

A visitor to the Usage reservation Gn
the Indian Territory, if he has mind
to study the human race under varying
conditions, finds much of interest. The
Usage Indians are about the only example
now left in the United States of Il real
aristocracy. They do not depend upon
Government rations, as do the Cheyennes
and others, at all, but have enough as
their own undisputed property to make
them the wealthiest community in the
country. Besides the land of the reser-
walton, which belongs to them by title
hard to assail, they have about 81, 600, 600
bearing 3 per cent. interest in the hands
of the Government. They are paid
about $3.50, 600 year in cash The
entire tribe numbers only 900, so that
they are acteally the richest body of peo-
pie we have.
The Osages have all the attributes of
an aristocracy. They own the land, do
absolutely no work, have plenty ofmoney,
know nothing of barter and sale, and
therefore not much of the meanness
which characteriZes all commercial classes.
They envy nobody, and are satisfied with
themselves and their customs. With
the virtues of aristocracy they have its
vices. With generosity they have shift
lesnes' and laziness to perfection
Though magnificent pastures lie before
them for miles, few of them take the
trouble to own cattle, the majority pre-
ferring to to buy beef already slaughtered
and cut up from the traders. They are
not even hunters and fishers Their lives
are spent in lying around under tents and
shanties, eating to repletion, and filling
their blood with impurities which they
do not take exercise enough to get rid
of. Bad habits have brought on bron-
chial and scrofulOus diseases, which are
helping to still further reduce their num-
bers. They have no faith in white
physicians, and their own medicine men
have as much influence as a hundred
years ago.-RdRSas City Times.

Roast Turkey.

The stutfing for this may be prepared
the day before and the bird made ready,
but do not recommend it to be stuffed
until near the time for roasting it, says q
writer in an exchange.
For the stuffing take eight ounces OF
bread crumbs (no crust, three ounces OF
butter chopped with it, tcaspoonful of
salt, one-quarter teaspoonful of pepper,
a small onion, boiled and chopped very
fine, two tablespoonfuls of parsley free
from stalks, and chopped as fine as posi-
bic, and a suspicion of grated nutmeg
Mix all together with two eggs. Stufl
the body and crop, but if you would
have your stuffing rich and not like a
steamy pudding; do not fill the body
full; leave plenty of room for swelling.
Many prefer little chopped pork in
place of the butter, and if you like a
crumbly dressing you will not need the
eggs.
When the bird is stuffed, sew up the
slit turn the skin of the neck over the
back, and fasten it with tiny skewer,
then truss it, flour it all over and bake it
in steady oven. A large turkey will
take quite four hours; a medium-szed
one three. Baste it frequently and turn
it about so that all sides may be brown
alike.
The giblets should be put on to stew

are needed, with quart of water, half Il

The Useful BnmhOO.

In whatever nature may have been

this country, yshe has ,eyldepHy comns-...
sated for by bestoS'Yshts 6pon It the baiiTs
boo plant, writes correspondent from
China to the st. Louis ReDuRican.
There are no less than so varieties of the
bamboo, the growth of which is favored
by certain loC'f'es, and each is pos
sessed of sv.ne special quality adapting
it to the manufacture of useful articles.
For instance, the sui chuck water bam-
boo, growing in swamps and ponds,
is very tall, straight and light, and is
largely employed in the framework
of sails, and in the manufacture of cheap
baskets, joss sticks, etc. The young
and tender shoots of this variety are also
used for food. The tai chuck, which
grows to great height, furnishes poles
used in the propelling of boats through
narrow canals or shallow waters. In
crowded river like the Canton, where il
is often impossible TO use the oars, the
boat is moved along either by touching
the river bed with the long bamboo or
by hooking on to other craft. A long
and flexible variety called n'gOn chuck
makes the best boat hooks, which, IN the
larger cOole ports, like Swatow and
Annoy, are employed in a novel method
of boarding steamers. When coolie
steamer from the south arrives, several
hundred sampans will rush alongside,
and the occupants, hooking on to the
gunwale OF railing, grasp the slender
bamboo with the hands and, with feet
against the side of the vessel, they clam

chuck carrying pole bambool is of
extreme toughness, and with these poles
all merchandise and movable property on
land are transferred from one point
To another on the shoulders Of coolies.
The pan chuck is used in making chop
sticks, fat too chuck for walking canes,
quan yum chuck for pens, while other
species, even including the thorny and
dwartish lac chuck, growing on rocky
hills, have such a variety of purposes that
a large volume might be filled with their
description. One kind is made INTO
ropes and rigging for iunks or is woven
into hats, mats and sails, while the long
leaves Of another are made into piCt

The american Oaltioator says, warn
ingly: prudent men will hesitate be-
fore buying land in Southern California
at present inflated prices. The great
land craze there already shows signs of
subsiding. Land is now changing hands,
with only ten per cent of the purchase
money paid down, aud balance on long
terms of credit. This indicates that buy
are not anxious to invest, and holders
wiling to sell on any terms. The col
lapse draws near. When orange lands
sell at $500 to 81, 600 per acre, and wheat
lands, fit for nothing but grain, sell at
$3.50 to $500 per acre, and raisin lands
change owners at $3.50 to &4OO, it is
high time for bona fide purchasers to
look elsewhere and get better value for
their money. Even the Californians are
willing to admit they never expected TO
see farming and orchard lands sell at
such fabulous prices,
